It faces the future with gloomy fore- boding. Tex Rickard was its motive power, well as its pilot. Without him the market price for high-grade boxing contests threatens to decline perhaps to the low levels of ten years ago. Since Rickard's death boxing has been in a terrific turmoil and there is no indication that it will be ready to settle into a definite groove for some time to come. Announcements have come thick and fast from the game's leading exponents but none has clarified the situation to any appreciable extent. If anything, it has become more muddled than ever. At the start of the year the | heavyweight program for 1929 was rather clearly defined: The Strib- ling-Sharkey bout at Mjami Beach Feb. 27; a battle between two other {leading contenders, probably Tom | Heeney and Paulino Uzcudun; a ,clash between the winners of thess |two matches; and a final battle for |the title between the ultimate sur- | vivor and Jack Dempsey. But all that has been changed. |There are indications that the | Stribling-Sharkey bout will not be iheld, at least on its scheduled date, and that Dempsey will re-consider | hia decision to return to the ring. As for the Stribling-Shrakey bout, Willlam F. Carey, first vice pre: | dent and treasurer of the Madison |Square Garden Corporation, and | other officials announced that they were investigating as to whether !contracts for that match had been signed. If legal contracts have boen | entered into on behalf of the cor- ‘;nuratlon, the Garden will go him a layoff last night in order that | 1o EIL B0 1€ LR Cant by Gene {tan has yielded to the rebels ho | through with the match as schedul- GOLFING STARS START IN L0S ANGELES EVENT' Select Army of 130 Followers ol‘ Game Gathered for Cham- plonship Play | Los Angeles, Jan. 11 UP—Sfal-| {warts of the golfing clan, a select |army of 130 representing nearly every section of the country, tooi up their clubs today for champion- ship play in the links classic of the | west, the $10,000 Los Angeles open. | The first 18 holes of the 72 hole | drive over the picturesque Riv {Country club course near Santa| Monica, was the day's program for | this colorful farce of professionals| and amateurs, In defense of the crown strode MacDonald Smith.

With the New Britain team work- ing in such harmony as it is at pres- ent, we don’t think there is a team in the league that can touch it. The locals are in first place once egain and Albany has another chance to tie them with a victory tonight. Paul Glickstein, until lately match- maker for the Stanley A. C., is also secrctary for the Independent Ama- teur association. He stated today that he has suspended the Stanley A. C. until an investigation and clarification is made of the charges that he demanded $75 more for staging the last show run here than he had agreed upon. Glickstein now claims that what he asked for was $10 and not $75. As we heard him admit, if memory serves us rightly, Glickstein agreed to furnish boxers for $314 and then, while the seventh bout was on, he wanted $389. The difference, as we see it, 1s $75. This Independent Amateur asso- ciation is a “honey.” It was form- «d by Dick Gray of New Haven when the blowup happened between the National A. A. U. and the Con- neeticut State A. A. U. Just who the officers of the assoclation are and what the powers of the organ- ization are, is a question. With the announcement of Mr. | Glickstein, comes the information | +hat he is secretary. Heretofore, we have always been under the impres- sion that the president of an organ- jzation such as the A. A. U. or kin- dred bodles, was the officlal with the sole right to ruspend members. This seems to us like a barrel of nothing. Tf Glickstein has the pow- er to suspend the Stanley A. C., who | cares? What authority can he find | to back him up? Things like these certainly enhance our feeling of dis- gust for the manner in wlich these associations are being conducted. In our opinion, Glickstein should be let down and out of the associ- | atfon for pulling the weirdest stunt | we have ever heard of, stopping a hout after the first round because he | wasn't getting the money he asked | for. | | His eyes blink constantly. “It's just as though my body was plit down the middle” he said.

Dempsey said he had not been offered that post nor any other by the Garden and that besides, he had {t0o many other business interests to serve as an exccutive of the Garden. Even more pertinent to the subject perhaps was his remark: ‘ “I don't kid myself that I could {fill Tex's shoes even if they gave me the job."
